Butter Analog

The word <slmg> /yip, short low strengthening grunt, short low weak growl/ refers to any number of edible plant products in the form of a cream or spreadable paste.

The substance fills a role similar to cheese or butter, and the natural flavor can range from savory to sweet. Humans find the unmodified product satisfyingly flavorful, but yinrih use it mostly for its texture, as a base to add other flavors to, or as a binder.

The word also appears in the profane expression <slmqNLqN!> literally “[that's] cloaca butter!” meaning nonsense.
